Chapter Ninety-Four: Sycophants
Corn? The corners of Serov's mouth sobbed, Khrushchev was still preparing to plant corn in the cold zone of Siberia, where the latitude was too low. There weren't many places where corn could grow in the Soviet Union, and now it seems that Khrushchev is ready to expand the corn production area after he returns, which is really going to kill you!
Who dared to persuade Khrushchev? Even the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee did not dare, and he, Serov, naturally, did not have the courage, but can this problem be solved, can! When Serov was exporting the revolution in Sudan earlier, he united with the commander-in-chief of Sudan, General Aboud, to overthrow the pro-British Sudanese government, and on the condition of supporting General Aboud to suppress the southern blacks, he sent Soviet agricultural experts to Sudan to investigate, Sudan has a population of only 10 million, and there are nearly 4 million blacks. But the territory is the first in Africa, the White Nile and the Blue Nile River pass through the capital, and the climate and sunshine are sufficient.
The conditions of Sudan itself, if you do not take into account the gap in the quality of the population, far exceed that of Egypt, which now seems to be infinitely beautiful, with more than twice as much land as Egypt, and there is no shortage of forests, grasslands, and minerals! Naturally, there is no shortage of arable land.
Serov said with a look of joy and sincerity, "When it comes to the promotion of corn, I think about it, the experts who went to Sudan to assist Sudan's agriculture said that Sudan's geographical conditions are very good, and now it seems that sending agricultural aid teams into Sudan to promote corn planting will not solve Sudan's agricultural problems very simply?" ”
"Well, Serov! You pay more attention, there is still room for improvement! Promoting maize farming in Sudan is sure to be an easy solution to Sudan's food problem, and you can contact biologists to help the Sudanese government promote maize farming! Khrushchev was very happy and felt that Comrade Serov's consciousness was still not low, and he knew how to use corn, a high-yielding crop, to solve the grain problem. We Communists must overcome difficulties in the face of difficulties, not be timid! Only by overcoming difficulties with willpower and firmly believing that all difficulties cannot defeat us......"
Voluntarism? This seems to be the crime that Khrushchev was convicted of when he stepped down, right? So the USSR has long been opposed by now, but it was suppressed by Khrushchev.
"The rubber problem is really a big problem, the world's largest rubber producer is in Southeast Asia, we can maintain friendly relations with Indonesian President Sukarno, but this is very difficult, the enemy is too strong?" Serov said with a very difficult look.
"Yes, the Anglo-American forces there are strong! But President Sukarno is not hostile to us! Khrushchev nodded in approval, "Actually, I communicated with the Chinese comrades that it would be easier to establish a rubber base on Hainan Island......
"The output is too small to solve too many problems!" Serov put on an imperialist posture and said, "If we want to do it, we will make it bigger, and I will go back and communicate with Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky and concentrate on enriching the Asian part." There are so many countries in Southeast Asia, I don't believe that all countries have no soil for revolution? As long as there is one, the rubber problem in the USSR will be solved......"
"Yuri, peaceful development is the mainstream! I'm not saying that I won't export revolution, but I'm still very happy to see some countries that are ripe for self-revolution! Khrushchev felt that Serov's ideas did not match his current thoughts, but he still didn't say anything, because Serov was more than 30 years younger than him, and Khrushchev was a little embarrassed to use the humiliating way of the Central Presidium to humiliate this little comrade who did not agree with his own position! If it had been replaced by those people in the Central Presidium, the spitting stars would have been sprayed in the face a long time ago.
It was still early, and Khrushchev had no intention of resting, so he had nothing to do with Serov's ideological assessment and asked, "Yuri, why do you think that we will win in the competition with capitalism?" ”
"Science and technology are developing, and the productive forces will sooner or later reach the critical point of developing socialism, but the current science and technology have just had this trend, and this trend is not yet obvious! Therefore, Americans still think that socialism is not a big deal, as long as human beings are progressing, science and technology can replace most of the manual labor sooner or later! That's why Comrade First Secretary said that history is on the side of socialism, whether the Americans want it or not, whether the time is 100 years from now or 1,000 years from now, sooner or later it will be our victory! Serov said what he knew, but did not mention the Soviet Union. After all, the Soviet Union has collapsed in later generations, and the state-level task of burying the United States with his own hands has been transferred from the Soviet Union to China.
"If you were specific to one country, what do you think is the weakness of the United States?" Khrushchev nodded and asked about the specifics.
This kind of problem made Serov stunned, not because he wanted the country to be strong and invulnerable, but because there were as many weaknesses as the Soviet Union, so he didn't know where to start, the problem of immigration, the problem of race, and most importantly, the problem of education.
Let's talk about education, Serov sorted out his thoughts and said, "Comrade First Secretary, the most favorite profession of the American civilian class after graduating from school, and it is also the highest-paying profession in the United States, there are doctors, teachers and lawyers!" These three professions correspond to the health care system, the education system, and the legal system! The fact that these three professions have become the highest-paying professions is enough to show that there is a huge problem with the American education system, that doctors benefit from patients, teachers benefit from students, and lawyers become millionaires by interpreting the law. Moreover, there is a huge gap between the education level of public schools in the United States and the national universities in China, and although the quality of private schools is better, the tuition fees are so high that ordinary families cannot afford them! There is no quality of teaching in public schools, and as long as there are no problems with the education system in the Soviet Union, we will theoretically have more people every year than in the United States, so the final winner must be our ......"
However, the United States could use its immigration policy to attract talent from other countries, while the Soviet Union could only train talent on its own. Serov, in front of Khrushchev, could only say what was beneficial to the USSR. Although the racial problem in the United States has always existed, the minority problem in the Soviet Union is not far behind. Both countries have a lot of problems, and at present, as the bosses of both camps, they all look glamorous, but in fact, everyone has a lot of problems.
Can a young bureau chief not survive an old man? Serov did not survive Khrushchev today, Khrushchev's energy was particularly strong, until Serov had already begun to wander around, and then he said with great satisfaction, "The willpower of young people is still a little worse, I work fifteen hours a day, every year!" Never felt so tired......"
"The first secretary rests early!" Serov, who had left Khrushchev's room, glanced at his wrist, "Twelve-fifty-nine ......"
stumbled back to his room and threw himself on the bed, secretly saying, "It's really hard for me, I've been filming sycophants for more than five hours......"
